Short story about my beggining in CanadaI immigrated to Canada in 2002.My first job in the new country was at a start-up software company.I worked there for 2 years until one day I started having doubts about the company's future. And mine.Money were limited at that time and insufficient for providing a decent life for my family and myself.So I started to look for another job.

I sent resumes to many companies that had openings for IT jobs.And waited for an answer which, in most cases, would not come back.Sometimes, I would be invited to an interview which would go nowhere.This is how the job search went for a while.Resume after resume sent away, interview after interview attended with no results.After a while, I started being anxious about my lack of progress.The anxiety came from the fact that I did not know where the problem is.Was the resume not good? Was I missing important skills?Was my interviewing style not efficient?I had no clue.

I was still determined to succeed and even to invest for it.I was willing to pay someone to help me out with coaching advice.Who could guide me, suggest some skills improvements or a new resume style.But, like most people that are new to the country, I had no idea where to find this coach.Maybe he did not and quite possible still does not exist.Years passed.After my first development job, I worked as QA manager in a major canadian company for about 8 years.Then, I worked on contract for a few years.I interviewed many people and attended many interviews.Which taught me a few things about interviews, resumes and job search.
